I knew it happened but quite interesting to see it in one place
Isn't it rather odd to attach so much importance to evolving statements of opposition politicians when they are not even in charge?
What about the equivalent statements of the Leave leaders and the party in control now?
I have much more respect for Leavers who say. Look we know we were lied to. We know any deal we get will be economically worse. But it’s about a feeling, if the economy takes a huge hit and people suffer it’s worth it.
Do you know I have never heard a Leaver admit they were lied to.
What would you say to a video seeing all the following comments in one place?

These considerations point to an implementation period of around two years

Within two years, before the negotiation with the EU is likely to be complete, and therefore before anything material has changed, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU … The new trade agreements will come into force at the point of exit, but they will be fully negotiated

I made one absolute promise in that campaign. We will be in control, for good or for bad, I never promised it would be a huge success, I never said it would be a failure, I just said we'd be in control.
Boris Johnson 6 March 2016
Everybody is suddenly wrangling about the terrors of the world outside... Actually, there are plenty of people who now think the cost of getting out would be virtually nil and the cost of staying in would be very high.
Johnson 11 July 2017:
There is no plan for no deal, because we’re going to get a great deal.
Gove June 2016
“We have four years more or less between now and date of next election. We can easily conclude a new settlement with EU in that period.”
Carswell on 8 June 2016:
I think we could very easily get a better trade deal than we have at the moment.
27 March 2017 Matthew Elliott said he was confident everything could be tied up with a neat little bow within two years:
All the problems that you traditionally have with a trade negotiation aren't there.
Elliot November 2016:
It's actually quite a simple deal... They have a pretty comprehensive plan for what they want to negotiate once they've triggered Article 50.
The only true comment:
Johnson 3 November 2016
Brexit means Brexit and we’re going to make a titanic success of it.
